Even sorry Sunderland – who finished bottom and embarrassed themselves on the final day by booting the ball out of play for John Terry’s OTT substitution – earned £99.9m and were only on TV eight times along with Hull.

Every positon in the Premier League was worth £1.9m so the rock-bottom Mackems took that down to the Championship with them on top of £13.6m for their eight miserable television showings.

Swansea – along with the tissue sellers at Stamford Bridge – made the big money on the final day of the season by jumping two positions and landing £3.8m.
